Can you believe Christmas is in 2 days? It feels like ages go that I actually decorated the house for The Home Depot Holiday Style Challenge, and while we’re traveling overseas this year, I can still feel the holiday buzz…
I discovered a hidden gem in Chicago a few weeks back and am looking for a reason to go back. The GuestHouse Hotel is a small boutique hotel in Uptown that is chic and welcoming and you’ll probably never want…
Are you officially in the holiday spirit yet? Christmas is two weeks away and I am loving everything festive. There isn’t anything that can beat the fresh scent of pine during this time of year and I especially love the…
This time of year is all about layering, and it IS possible to look chic and put together even when you’re walking around in 20 different layers! I saw this black and white, graphic sweater from ModCloth and knew it…
I’m so excited to share the big Home Depot Holiday Style Challenge with you! The Holidays for me, always meant spending time around the table with the people you love. With that, I found a way to bring my style…
This past weekend, Chicago teased us with unseasonably warm weather. We’re talking, like 75 at the end of October. Everyone was out and about, taking full advantage of the final hoorah of warm weather. Considering I’m writing this tonight and…
After sifting through so many different spaces and inspiration for interiors, I will come across a handful that I know would translate into an amazing outfit. Just like this space! The dark-washed walls, the peacock chair, the fur bed throw…
My version of scary is equivalent to watching Hocus Pocus. I’m not much for horror flicks, haunted houses or even corn mazes. Call me boring, but I don’t want to pay for a dose of anxiety. That being said, moody…
Chicago is no city to mess around with when it comes to cold weather. That’s why you won’t see any cute bomber jackets or leather blazers in today’s roundup. A girl’s got to be realistic! When hunting for a Fall…
Every season I like to add new pieces to my wardrobe. Since it’s officially Fall, I am on the hunt for a few updates. I’ve got my eye on these pieces…and they are all under $150! Chic fashion that won’t…

I recently purchased this dress for my birthday (back in August) and it has quickly become one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe. Besides the fact that yes, it’s another black dress, it is so versatile and is a…
I’ve slowly started to add Fall pieces to my wardrobe and while the temps are still warm, I’ve been able to incorporate some of these looks already! I tend to be attracted to plum and wine colors for this time…
I rarely post on Saturday but this was worth posting, my friends. Like any other woman out there, I love a good shoe. No matter how irritated I may get hunting for the right piece of clothing, shoes always fit!…
In the thick of planning a trip for a client to Italy, I always get so excited to experience some of my favorite destinations, all over again, through their eyes. It also happens to be one of my favorite destinations for a solo trip; a surrender to the senses, to la bellezza in all its forms. The Italians just do it right. Mentally revisiting some of my favorite spots in this itinerary, including an idyllic stay in Porto Santo Stefano.
One of the more relaxing weekends I’ve had in a long time. A reminder that they shouldn’t be so sporadic and few in between. As I slowly ease into the new year, and in an effort to return to the joy of writing, there’s a new post on welcoming 2024 - how I’m planning on filling my cup this month, what I’m looking forward to and more simply put, a monthly check-in with myself and with all of you. x
I’ve been holding on to our wedding photos like a secret note in my pocket I just wasn’t ready to share quite yet. I wanted to hold on to the feeling a bit longer, before the moment felt fleeting.
After endless months of planning, weekly budgeting and saving, all the stress, our wedding day was a beautiful coming together of cultures, traditions and worlds. We were showered with love from near and far and we never lost sight of what this day was truly about – celebrating our unexpected love story. A story we will continue to celebrate.
Sharing with you today a small and intimate look at one of the happiest moments of our life together. I really do feel so very lucky to call this man my husband.
Thank you to @nicolettazarifi for capturing our special day on film and to @feelyourfilms for bringing them to life in a video we’ll cherish forever.

I spent the last week back in Chicago after two long years and while I crammed in way too much in 10 short days, I left feeling recharged and at peace...
I got to spend time with my mom and stepdad, even though it`s always too short and too fast; rented my apartment to a lovely couple; saw friends I haven`t seen in years and hit up most of my favorite spots including eating an excessive amount of Chipotle. Chicago weather behaved for us and even put on a fabulous Fall show, my favorite time of year.
And while I know the reasons why I chose to leave Chicago, it doesn`t mean that it`s not still a very important part of my life and of who I am. It seems, sometimes you need to leave home to truly find yourself. I was able to share all these amazing moments, in my (other) city, in our other home, with my husband, family and friends. I know how blessed I am and I never take this life I`ve built for granted.
A small ode to my other city, sweet home Chicago!

Proud to have been able to pen this piece for @hello_going as @airserbia rolls out their first direct flights between Serbia`s capital city of Belgrade and the "Windy City" - and my hometown of Chicago -after a 30-year hiatus.
While this article is meant to act as a comprehensive guide to flying Air Serbia; it is also a nod to Air Serbia’s long history and authentic culture and cuisine making it an affordable and competitive option when looking to hop the pond.
Finally got around to writing the first - of many - posts on Morocco while taking gardening tips from the beautiful Le Jardin Secret - a lush, green oasis in the heart of the medina in Marrakech. #mangogirls
